Binary Domain is an original squad-based shooter by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creator behind some of SEGA's most well-known video game franchises, including the critically acclaimed Yakuza series. Binary Domain puts players in the middle of a fast paced and intense battle for humanity in a robot-invaded 2080 Tokyo. Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city, players control an international peace-keeping squad that soon starts to question their surroundings and the choices they make. Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?

Binary Domain's central theme of life is key to the way the innovative AI system is being developed. The highly advanced AI will make the battlefield a more compelling experience than ever before and players will have to plan their moves strategically and carefully in order to progress through the hostile environments of the game.

Binary Domain takes you to Japan in the year 2080, where you'll need to regain control as a robotic threat threatens to take over, leaving humanity obsolete in this intense 3rd person squad based shooter from the brilliant mind of Toshiri Nagoshi.

As Dan Marshall, you and your squad must rise to the challenge and stop the mechanical menace before it's too late. But when is too late?

You'll encounter highly intelligent enemies that will have you thinking on your feet as they try to outmanoeuvre you at every turn as they try to stop you and your team. You'll need to think fast and shoot faster as you guide your earn through real-time moral decisions and earn their trust in order to lead them more effectively.

Tokyo times: You'll see two very different Tokyos, the run down and decaying slums below and clean and wealthy new city above

Consequence system: Even when you're under fire, you'll need to make moral decisions that will affect the outcome of mission

Procedural damage: You'll need to find your enemies weaknesses to take them out more effectively as your enemies will adapt the way they fight as you damage non-essential areas of their bodies

Weapons and skills: You may have the most advanced weapons, but without the right skills you won't be able to use them effectively

5Gears Of War Meets Mass Effect

When i played the demo of this game i was like hmmm this game could be something. So i went with my gut feeling and bought it and i am glad i did. Graphically this game is fantastic and the smoothness of the gameplay is unreal. the controls are alot similar to gears of war but it has that mass effect sort of feel to it. there is room for customising your weapons etc and a storyline and characters that suck you into the game and want you to come back out all guns blazing.

5Nothing hollow about this game!

Having played first person shooters to death I switched to good old medieval ogre bashing for a bit but had this on my list of games to try.

Really pleased I remembered to come back to this title as it did not disappoint. Comparisons will be made with the Mass Effect series but that is only natural as it uses a similar game format (colleagues to aid you in the war on Hollow Children). The storyline is good with a few conspiracies thrown in for entertainment value. The characters are really strong and some gamers will start to get attached to them while others will be happy to see them thrown in the line of fire for the sake of the Survivor.

The in-game video content is really pleasing if a little long in places but gives you time to keep up with the story and think ahead to what is around the next corridor.

My two negative criticisms are that at times it feels repetitive with regard to the enemy and you feel like your character never really gets a break from the action (which some people will not mind). The second is that it only has an auto-save function which means you have to push on to a save point or start again when you switch on. This spoils the game in some ways as I felt rushed and would like to have played at my own pace.

Great game never the less and hoping SEGA do not take too long in creating a second instalment.

5Didn't expect much but what a shock

Blind bought this game because it was under a tenner and it was fantastic. the story is cool and the visuals are great. The characters you pick up on the way are great with their skills involving weapons. SEGA should continue to make games of this quality, it had a mass effect style feel to the game and the use of the head set to communicate with your characters on screen was a good addition to the gameplay.

5Totally smashing

wow i bought this game thinking it would be interesting but this game has blown all my expectations out of the water i havent finished this game yet but the story is amazing the way the game makes you feel about the characters is awesome at first the characters were a mere annoyance but you grow to have differnt feelings for all of them it really is a good if not underestimated story telling experience.
